change and no change

Big change: musique_monkey has a new job. Wheee! And some time at home before it starts. Double wheee!

On the other hand, poor Spidermonkey is ill again/still. Aches, pains temperature, misery, throwing up... The throwing up seems to be due to the antibiotics he started yesterday. He's now on different ones and not actually throwing up (yet). We're all hoping he gets well in time for us to go on holiday a week today, and stays well this time! At least it doesn't appear to be anything serious, more a case of one damned thing after another, but we await (more) test results...

Squirrelmonkey had fun in France and is starting the school hols by ripping every CD he can lay his hands on so he can keep his not-Pod fully loaded all summer.

I had fun with L--lots of food, good company, DVDs, and Shakespeare (Taming of the Shrew in St John's College garden).

And our student neighbours are celebrating their last week in the house with multiple parties and apparently putting up all their friends who no longer have rooms in hall. It's loud, but only for a few more days, and my new, girly earplugs are great. Just so long as they can manage a tiny bit of consideration and keep the noise on the front where it won't wake sick Spidermonkey. And I can look forward to watching them trying to clean up next week--more work than they've probably done in years.

That's pretty much what the neighbours said to us when we arrived! (Except the student neighbours, obviously.) Sadly for us, the landlord of the house next door only lets it to students. One day, I think he will sell or convert it to flats, as the street is steadily heading up market, but I don't think it'll be soon...

I have new cleaner by the way who has said that she is ready and willing to do for any of my friends . Let me know if you want number.

Thank you! I'll be looking for a new cleaner to start in September, when my work restarts, but I might go the agency route this time, but may well be asking you for that number later if agencies aren't interested in the small amount I want done (just 90 mins/week). Are you with Lifesavers btw? I know you told me on Saturday, but my memory is like next door's carpet after they had a houseful of smokers in there.

Thank you. I'm really at home too much to justify a full 3 hours, much as I'd like it. Maybe I'll be lucky and they'll have another job nearby I can fit in with...
